Free Music Review: A review from New Zealand
Hit: 4 Stars
Even though i am too young to have experienced these songs when they were first released, they are classics that will never die. What a great collection, that has all of the songs from the movie plus others that follow along the same themes.
Definitely worth the price (even when you take into account currency conversion and freight costs to New Zealand!!)
I haven't stopped playing it since it arrived.
Free Music Review: A Great Big Deluxe 2CD "INCOMPLETE" set....
Hit: 3 Stars
As many of you know, the original soundtrack was split into 2 separate CDs - Soundtrack to Big Chill and More Songs from Big Chill. I was annoyed years ago when I discovered I could actually compile every song heard in this movie - including the Stones' "Can't Always Get What you Want" - into a single CD, while Motown decided it was a good idea at the time to make consumers pay for 2 CDs instead of one by adding a bunch of songs that were not even in the movie. So now that they have a chance to redeem themselves, why is Motown releasing a 2CD "Deluxe" set that is still missing a vital track from the "More Songs" soundtrack such as Quicksilver Girl? I can understand copyright issues with the Rolling Stones' song, which was probably why it was left off the original soundtrack, but Quicksilver Girl was on the "More songs" soundtrack! I think the song list on the new Deluxe package is good, but the omission of 2 of the key songs that actually appeared in the movie was disappointing and dropped this review a couple of stars. That having been said, I still bought this set. Guess I'm just a sucker for repackages!Free Music Review: Great songs - HORRIBLE sound quality
Hit: 1 Stars
As one who has several of the tracks on albums by the artists, I can attest that the sound quality of the two discs being horrible. The first disc is beyond horrible and approaching abysmal or even offensive. Please do not waste your money if you want to play these discs on any stereophonic system above a "boom box."
